E                        A          E
Sometimes I tell you the way that I feel,
                       B  E
I swear that I'm going crazy.
                             A          E
Keep telling myself it ain't that big a deal,
                            B  E      A  E    B  E
It's better than pushing up daisies.

[Verse 2]
E                     A             E
I felt the arrow from death's fatal quiver
                          B      E
Come so close it actually grazed me.
                       A             E
I bled the blood and I felt the cold shiver,
                      B     E
God only knows how he saved me.

[Chorus]
        A                              E
There's two dates in time that they'll carve on the stone.
A                        Bsus B 
Everyone knows what they mean.
    A                               E
But what's more is important is the time that is known,
        Dbm         B          A
By that little dash there in between.
     Dbm         B          E       A  E    B  E
That little dash there in between.

[Verse 3]
E                        A         E
Sometimes my heart is as true as a dove,
                        B     E
Sometimes my heart it betrays me.
                          A            E
So I draw my sword for to fight for my love,
                       B     E
Without a whisper, she slays me.

[Instrumental]
E    A  E    B  E     A  E    B  E
 
[Verse 4] 
E                       A             E
My mother died, but somehow she keeps living,
                       B    E
She'll never cease to amaze me.
                              A             E
My dad turns his back on each day that he's given.....
                                 B  E
'Cause he'd rather be pushing up daisies.

[Chorus]
        A                              E
There's two dates in time that they'll carve on the stone.
A                        Bsus B 
Everyone knows what they mean.
    A                               E
But what's more is important is the time that is known,
        Dbm         B          A
By that little dash there in between.
     Dbm         B          E       A  E    B  E
That little dash there in between.
